a goodprogram is ghost surf...you can get a free version thats quite good, its a proxy server emulation that scrambles your ip address
You would probably need to use a proxy server.





A proxy server allows you to browse the Internet via another computer which has been set up to perform that function. Read more here:

Essentially you will request your web pages via the proxy server, the proxy server retrieves the web pages via it's IP address and then passes them back to you.





Essentially your IP address is that of the proxy server.





Lists of proxy servers are available but some need to be paid to use, some are free and some are illegal to use - so be careful to use one that is legitmate to use. There are also privacy issues when using proxy servers, since all of your traffic will go via the proxy meaning the owner of the proxy will know what sites you are visiting:

Basically you would need to locate a proxy server in the United States. Bear in mind that HULU might also be configured to reject connections from known proxy servers.





The proxy server is specified in your browser, so it doesn't usually require any software to be installed, you just specify it in your browser settings.
